New Audi Q3 - cheapest way to buy?

I have decided to purchase a new Audi Q3 Automatic Diesel 177bhp SE and wondered what the cheapest way to purchase would be. I have the option to trade in my 2008 VW EOS or sell that privately and I also have the cash to purchase the new Audi outright.

Autoebid seems to be about the cheapest place online, but are they safe and reputable to purchase from - are there any hidden catches?

Would I get the same deal direct from a dealer if I drove a hard bargain?
Is it better to purchase in September or October?

The only broker I recommend is www.drivethedeal.com But if they cannot offer the model to you at a sensible price, then the Autoebid system whereby dealers bid for your business may be your only option.
